The Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur has announced an alternative route to get admission into the institute.



The interested students who have qualified the globally acclaimed/ international Olympiads in several subjects including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Informatics will be eligible to directly apply to the institute. However, the final decision will be taken by the respective dept's and the institute's senate only.



The Chairman of the Undergraduate Academic Programme Review Committee of IIT Kanpur stated that the students who have qualified for the olympiads have already shown their aptitude and do not require an additional check.



The exact framework to respect or disqualify the candidate's application will be released by the respective departments. These departments can conduct screening tests for the candidates but the process has not been finalised yet, informed Saxena.



In 2018, IIT Bombay also introduced a similar concept for admission.
